The point is, anyone can lose to anyone else on any given night. You do not judge a fighter by one fight, you judge him by his career. And Fedor has had an incredible career. With that said I do not think Fedor is the best heavyweight in the world at this time, but he’s close, top 3-5 certainly.

he’s had quite a career as a GnP artist. And his boxer/judo style is what gives him decent transitions, other than that I see nothing that makes him a highly technical fighter.
When he loses to Werdum again, will you change your opinion to that of Fedor no longer belonging in the top 10?
Yeah beating Cro Cop standing, outgrappling Nog, his submission wins. Clearly this guy is not technical. But Lesnar man backing up in the fetal position and an arm traingle this guy is all technique.

I think you’re wrong, Fedor is absolutely in the top 10, actually top 5 HW. How you can think he is not, I don’t fully understand. He has beaten the best that the world had to offer up to the last few years that is. But, he still has enough left to beat most of the other HW’s.

Fedor has been coasting since Cro Cop. He’s a legend, but like Liddell and Cro Cop, he’s last gen. He is a relic of the past. He just cannot hang in a world of elite next-generation athletes such as Anderson Silva, GSP, and Brock Lesnars…the genetic freaks of the world.
He was collecting some checks by fighting in lesser organizations and avoiding the top five guys like the plague, but now he can’t even hang with a guy who got his butt beat in the UFC.

The reason you think this is because you’re 19 years old and stupid.
